The Caribbean Sea
A recent scatterometer satellite pass indicated fresh to strong E
trade winds off the coast of northwest Colombia, and fresh E
winds over the Bay Islands off the coast of Honduras. Moderate to
fresh E to SE winds are evident across most of the remainder of
the basin, where seas are 4 to 6 ft. A few showers are evident off
western Panama, but no significant weather is noted elsewhere.
For the forecast, high pressure north of the area will maintain
fresh to strong winds across most of the central Caribbean through
tonight. Pulsing nightly fresh to strong trades will also affect
the waters off central Honduras into Fri night. The high pressure
will weaken Sat as it slides eastward toward the central Atlantic,
allowing winds to diminish through Mon.
Regular easterly Caribbean winds with some patches of cloud. But there is major ITCZ swellup activity in the Pacific, just off El Salvador, which is throwing out high level cloud over southern Belize and joining with regular high level over northern Belize this morning. There have been a few patches of rain earlier mainly down south, a little in the north and eastern coastal areas.
Looks as if today will be mainly sunny, but with regular cloud forming this morning and areas of high level cloud, with a chance of the odd rain shower.
Last Night 26 °C 78 °F Yesterday max. 32 °C 89 °F Yesterday Rain 0.2 mm ( 0 " ) Over Night Rain 0 mm ( 0 " )
